Natanzadeh was stabbed multiple times and died at the scene.

Police have released security images of the suspect, who left on foot with a bag. He is described as a Hispanic man, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 160 to 180 pounds.

News of the crime in the city’s jewelry district shocked the region’s Iranian Jewish community, to which Natanzadeh belonged, Forward reports.

“I have received multiple phone calls from different people in the community who are worried and had been telling their family members who work in downtown to come home after hearing of this killing,” Dara Abaei, leader of the Los Angeles-based Jewish Unity Network, was quoted saying.

The Jewelers’ Security Alliance is offering a $2,500 reward for information in the case. Anyone with a tip can reach the Los Angeles Police Department at 877-527-3247 or JSA at 212-687-0328 or jsa2@jewelerssecurity.org.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
